Low-angle mounts: The Canon de 130 mm Modèle 1932 and 1935 were medium-caliber naval guns used as the primary armament on a number of French Navy destroyers and as dual-purpose secondary armament on battleships during World War II.
The Canon de 130 mm Modèle 1932 and 1935 were built with an autofretted barrel and a breech ring.
Useful life expectancy was 900 effective full charges (EFC) per barrel.
The low-angle double turrets used on destroyers had a separate cradle for each M1935 gun and they could be elevated or depressed independently.
All three turret types had mechanical problems with their ammunition handling and the heavy weight of their shells strained crews and slowed their rate of fire.
